Jaycee Juice - May 2019 May GMM - What you missed!
The March general membership meeting (GMM) was held at Bento Kitchen Cravings on 5/21/19. We were graciously welcomed by the staff at Bento Kitchen and were even given complimentary spring rolls! We would definitely recommend paying them a visit for a meal soon.
Lysne Tait from Helping Women Period attended the GMM to share her organization's mission with our members. Helping Women Period is a non-profit organization that distributes free menstrual products to homeless, low-income, and refugee menstruators. They also provide education on menstruation and menstrual products in order to increase awareness and openness while reducing stigma.
Save the date for our Summer Picnic!
In lieu of a traditional GMM, we will have a picnic on July 16th at Patriarche Park in East Lansing. The BOD is still working out the details on food, but we invite you to mark your calendars now. Partners, kiddos, and friends are all welcome to come join in the festivities. We would love to see you there!
